A follow up here on action items (assuming you’re already using trusted publishers OIDC to scope releases to a single GitHub Action workflow):
1. Look for any `pull_request_target` GitHub Actions workflows! (this allows external forks/code to run your actions with write access ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️)

The font and colors are subject to change, (though I'm kind of digging the dark blue), but the next portion of the Warlock project is coming together! This will serve as the public documentation and information site for the project, for folks not wanting to solely use Github. Still a lot of work to do, but making good progress on it.
